“If anyone has ever dreamed of a faraway land, where there are vast grasslands under long mountain ranges covered with white snow all year round, a peaceful place among all species, where grass, trees and flowers still play happily in the wind every day, where smiles always bloom on lips, then that is Bhutan - the land of the dragon and thunder. Bhutan - a land of faith, where people's beliefs are more than material pursuits, where happiness can heal wounds, help people grow up, they believe in goodness, believe in Buddha.
